Parking on a hillWhen parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the
curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.For vehicles equipped with manual transaxlePlace the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when
parking on a downhill slope, into the 1st position when parking
on an uphill slope.For vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT)Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake
before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
This prevents loading the parking brake against the transaxle.
When this happens, it is difficult to move the selector lever out
of the “P” (PARK) position.Parking with the engine runningNever leave the engine running while you take a short nap or
rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly
ventilated place.
Where you parkYour front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs
or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down
steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road.Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a
long timeMore effort could be required to turn the steering wheel.
Refer to “Electric power steering system (EPS)” on page 3-75.When leaving the vehicleAlways carry the key and lock all doors and the liftgate when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
WA R N I N G
!
Leaving the engine running risks injury or death
from accidentally moving the gearshift lever (man-
ual transaxle) or the selector lever (CVT) or from
the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the pas-
senger compartment.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in
contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.

6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300233
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder
and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder,
or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with
the hazard lights flashing until you come to a safe stopping
place. Keep the flashers flashing.If the engine stops/failsIf the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering
and brakes, making these difficult to use.

The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not
grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than
usual.

Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel
will be hard to turn.When the engine fails at the intersectionGet help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the
vehicle and move it to a safe area.
Jump-starting the engine
N00836400768
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or
dead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle
using jumper cables.NOTE
Do not use jumper cables if they have damage or corro-
sion.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or brace-
lets that might create an accidental electrical contact.
2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t
touching each other.
WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that
may be emitted from the battery, carefully read this
section before jump-starting the vehicle.
Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or tow-
ing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death and can damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
!
Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, both systems
can be damaged.

How to use the tire repair kit
N00800600017
WA R N I N G
!
Never use the tire repair kit under in any of the situ-
ations listed below. The tire cannot be repaired by
the tire repair kit. If any of these situations occurs,
please contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
• More than one tire is punctured.
• The puncture hole has a length or width of 1/7 inch
(4 mm) or greater.
• The tire is punctured in the side wall (A), not in the
tread (B).
• The vehicle has been driven with the tire almost
completely flat.
• The tire has completely slipped over the wheel rim
and come off the wheel.
• The wheel is damaged.
• A bump, cut or crack is on the tire.
• The tire sealant’s expiration date has passed. (The
expiration date is shown on the bottle label (C).)
• The ambient temperature is below -40 °F (-40 °C)
or above 140 °F (60 °C).
WA R N I N G
!
The tire sealant can cause health damage if swal-
lowed. If you accidentally swallow it, drink as much
water as possible and immediately seek medical
attention.
If the tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your skin,
rinse it away with lots of water. If you still sense an
abnormality, seek medical attention.
Consult a doctor immediately if any allergic reac-
tions occur.
Do not allow children to touch the tire sealant.

12. Pull out the compressor’s power cord (K), insert the plug
on the cord into the 12 V power outlet (L), and then turn
the ignition switch or the operation mode to the ACC
position. (Refer to “12V power outlet” on page 3-161.)
Turn ON the compressor switch (M) and inject all of the
tire sealant and inflate the tire to the specified pressure.
(Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-23.)
If there is a gap between the tire and wheel, push the tread
area toward the center of the wheel to close the gap before
running the compressor.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not place your hand or fingers between the tire
and wheel while inflating the tire. Your hand or fin-
gers may become caught between the tire and wheel.
CAUTION
!
The supplied compressor is designed only for infla-
tion of your vehicle tires.
The compressor is designed to run on a vehicle’s
12 V power supply. Do not connect it to any other
power source.
The compressor is not waterproof. If you use it in
rain, make sure water does not get on it.
Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor could
make the compressor break down. Do not place the
compressor directly on any sandy or dusty surface
when using it.
Do not disassemble or modify the compressor. Also,
do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It
could malfunction.

13. Affix the speed restriction sticker (N) to the three-dia-
mond mark on the steering wheel.14. Check and adjust the tire pressure with reference to the air
pressure gauge on the compressor. If you overinflate the
tire, release air by pressing the pressure release switch (O)
on the compressor.
CAUTION
!
Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the speci-
fied position on the pad of the steering wheel. Affix-
ing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent
the SRS airbag from deploying properly.
CAUTION
!
The surface of the compressor will get hot while the
compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor
running continuously for more than 10 minutes.
After using the compressor, wait for the compressor
to cool before using it again.
If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while
operating, it is overheating. Immediately place the
switch in the OFF position and let the compressor
cool down for at least 30 minutes.

NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks
or blocks and keep them in the vehicle for use if needed.

If chocks or blocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in
position.
6. Get the jack, bar and wheel nut wrench ready.
(Refer to “Jack and tools” on page 6-7.)
Spare tire information
N00849600344
Compact spare tireThe compact spare tire is stowed beneath the floor board of the
cargo area. It is designed to save space in the cargo area. Its
lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the correct tire
when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves
while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.
WA R N I N G
!
Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with
age even when they are not being used. It is recom-
mended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced
even if damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
!
While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation
pressure should be checked at least once a month to
assure that it remains at the recommended inflation
pressure. See the tire and loading information plac-
ard attached to the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire
and loading information placard” on page 9-4.
Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause
an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and
avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate
the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible.
Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-23.
